BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Former Broad Ripple High School basketball star Ron Patterson did not meet the academic requirements to earn admission to Indiana University, according to his AAU coach Chris Hawkins.

That has solved the IU basketball team's issue of fitting 14 players into the maximum 13 scholarships by the first day of classes Monday. Patterson will explore attending a prep school or another four-year school and would have immediate eligibility because his national letter of intent was voided when he did not receive admission into IU for the fall semester.
